On Tap in the Capital, May 1

--- TUITION, TAXES DISCUSSED IN SENATE: The Senate is expected to vote on a proposal (HB 851) that would allow undocumented immigrant students to pay in-state tuition rates at colleges and universities. The bill, a priority of House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, also would take other steps to hold down tuition for university students. Senators also likely will consider a proposed tax-cut package (HB 5601). Gov. Rick Scott and Republican legislative leaders have said they will cut $500 million in taxes and fees, but the House and Senate have disagreed about which taxes to cut. (9 a.m., Senate chamber, the Capitol.)

--- HOUSE COULD ADDRESS MEDICAL MARIJUANA: The House is expected to take up bills that have passed the Senate, possibly including a proposal (SB 1030) that would make available a strain of marijuana that could help children who have a type of epilepsy that causes severe seizures. The substance is low in euphoria-inducing tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, so it does not get users high. (10:30 a.m., House chamber, the Capitol.)
